Why, they don't see anything of me
I'm surfing with everything blocked and especially javascript off by default
(unless required occasionally, that's what the privbar is here for )

Okay, and now I'll boldly switch js on and click that hot button again.... ;-)

Oh well, first thing I noticed was that google doubleclick-adds were loading! That much for privacy concerns on that site... Afterwards all their giant scripts did was nearly freeze my poor ole win98 with its 256MB RAM - had to break the connection to stop that script. Or perhaps it was one of those gecko 1.9 scripts that freeze it KM15x. Or one of those known bug scripts... Am not going to try again *grmpf*

Yes it's a powerful script, I had to wait 10 minutes until the CPU slowed down again. But the point is that the script on this site (and others) can exploit browsers and read your history - I first tried it with my recent history, the script picked up quite a few, but not all strangely enough. Then I wiped History and it couldn't find anything. Fair enough, that shows that you shouldn't keep your history for too long, but the interesting part is that the script CAN try and check your history, in other words there's a gaping gap there whether your history is cleared or not.

Well, what I'm saying and practicing for years, turn javascript/flash/cookies off and you're *almost* on the safe side
And that's why I love the privacy bar so much, all blocked settings in sight and just one button-click away if actually needed for a page
